Once there was a man named Jonah! He was a Godly man so God asked him to go to Nineveh and tell them to repent or He would destroy their city! [Spirituality & Religion]

But Jonah was scared of the Ninevites because they were very violent and mean. Jonah said "What if they get angry with me, and kill me?" So Jonah ran away to a port and jumped on a boat. God was angry with Jonah so he created a storm. Jonah understood that God was angry and he felt bad for all the people on the ship being in a storm because of him so he said. "I have sinned and ran from God, throw me overboard and the storm will stop". So they threw him overboard. He was swallowed by a huge fish and stayer in the fish 3 days until he repented and prayed to the Lord and agreed to go to Nineveh and warn them about the disaster coming if they don't repent. The fish spit him out onto the beach. He went to Nineveh and told them that God would destroy them because of their sins. The Ninevites got on their knees and repented and cried out to God, and asked God to save them from the disaster. God saved them and did not do what he had planned to do, kill all of them.

There once was an elven king called Gil-Gilad, and he had a mighty spear. And when the Dark Lord took up residence again under the Ephel Duath in Barad-Dur, he and Isildur, king of Arnor and Gondor and descendant of the men of Numenor made the Last Alliance of the Free People. Gil-Gilad was slain, bit Isildur smote the Dark Lord Sauron and cut from his finger the one ring. Master Elrond the Peredhil counseled him to cast the rings into the fires of Gorgoroth, but Isildur took it as weregild. And so the foundations of Lugburz could not be destroyed, and the Dark Lord could regain his power, for Isildur was slain in the Gladden Fields and the lore of the ring was lost to the Istari.

@basilfawlty89 That's an interesting story, but the story of Jonah is a Gods own story about Christians warning the world of Gods judgment if they don't repent. God will burn this world up and those wo love him, those who have repented and trusted in Lord Jesus will be saved and enter eternal heaven to rule with God. Do you know Jesus is coming to judge the world very soon?

@kodiac Not everyone, Christians are "snatched up" according to Jesus. He is preparing a place for us now.

@Carazaa So you don't have to die to go to heaven?

@kodiac True, unless your body dies first.

@Carazaa Then why stick around on earth ?Why not just go to heaven now?

@kodiac Life is a blessing. Every day counts to witness about what Jesus did for the world because he loves us.
